23 April, 2018

Looking to buy a premium WordPress theme but don’t want to pay too much money? If you need a high quality, good looking and cheap premium theme, this list will help you. We’ve a compiled a list of WordPress theme shops and marketplaces that sell high quality premium WordPress themes at very reasonable prices.

WordPress users are spoiled for choice when it comes to themes. There are thousands of high quality premium (commercial) themes available. Most premium WordPress themes cost less than $100, which is actually very cheap for what you’re getting – basically a high quality custom made theme by a professional WordPress developer. On the other hand if you don’t want to spend any money at all there are plenty of free themes available in the WordPress Free Themes Directory (more than 5,000 of them in fact). Some of the free themes available on WordPress.org are actually very good and all the themes from WordPress.org have passed a though quality check.

If however you don’t want your website to look like thousands of other sites using the same popular free WordPress themes, and you don’t have the time or skills to customize a theme, spending a bit of money on a premium theme can be a good option to set your site apart and look more unique. There are lots of other good reasons for going premium. These of the reasons include: the superior quality, the extra functionality, the security and peace of mind, regular updates and of course the support. In many ways a premium theme is like buying a custom made theme from a professional web design agency but at a fraction of the cost.

There are lots of benefits in buying a premium WordPress theme and it doesn’t need to cost a lot of money. Below are 15 premium theme shops and marketplaces where you can buy a quality premium WordPress theme for less than $60.

Theme Forest is the largest market place for premium WordPress themes with more than 11,000 themes to choose from! Prices typically range from $48 – $68 per theme. They have designs available for almost any type of website you can image, from the usual multipurpose blog, magazine and business themes to the more specialized niche application themes.

The main attraction of buying a theme from ThemeForest is the cheap price and attractive designs. However being a marketplace with lots of unknown theme authors there are some potential risks you need to consider before building a website with a theme from ThemeForest. While there are many great authors selling high quality themes on ThemeForest there are also many average themes and some downright bad ones. The quality of themes on ThemeForest has improved a lot in recent times with stricter guidelines and quality controls, however many themes sold on ThemeForest tend to be feature heavy and bloated. There is also wide use of a more restrictive “split GPL” license instead of the freedom of a 100% GPL license used by most good WordPress theme shops. If 100% GPL is important to you look for authors that sell with a 100% GPL license. Before buying a theme on Theme Forest it’s probably a good idea to check the reputation of the developer. This will give you some idea about the quality of their themes. Also check the number of updates, length of time they’ve been selling themes, reviews and the level of support provided by the author.
